2018 - What do you expect from the club?

[PaulP]

I was sort of trying to make the point, ACoS and Simmo are no certainty to get a regular run in 2018, and that would have a massive impact on our relative on-field experience! Rowe is injured, take away his age from the averages and we are the youngest in the league, Docherty is injured further lower our average age. Phillips is injured, again that lowers it a bit more. If any of the other old bodies get an injury we become significantly younger on field than any other list.

I get all that. We also lost Gibbs, and brought in younger players like Kennedy, Lang and Mullet.

My personal opinion is that Simmo looked shaky last season and should have retired. With Doc injured, and a mostly young defense, I think he'll play a lot of senior footy.
